Nutrients and Energetics (17-1)

• Nutrients

• Essential substances needed for cells to generate

energy in the form of ATP

• ATP supports cell growth and division, contraction,

secretion, and other functions

• Energetics

• The study of flow of energy and how it changes from

one form to another

Page 5: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

Metabolism (17-1)

• The sum total of all chemical reactions in the body

• Cellular metabolism provides energy needed for

homeostasis

• Catabolism

• Breakdown of organic molecules for synthesis of ATP

• Anabolism

Four Reasons to Synthesize New Compounds (17-1)1. To perform structural maintenance and repairs

• Metabolic turnover is ongoing removal and

replacement of cell structures

2. To support growth

3. To produce secretions

4. To build nutrient reserves

• Glucose stored as glycogen, triglycerides in adipose

tissue

Nutrient Pool (17-1)

• Source for both catabolism and anabolism

• Anabolic activities require amino acids, some lipids, and

few carbohydrates

• Catabolic reactions break down carbohydrates first, then

lipids, and rarely amino acids

• Mitochondria use specific organic molecules to form

ATP, water, and carbon dioxide

• Utilizes the citric acid cycle and the electron transport

chain

Carbohydrate Metabolism (17-2)

• Most cells use glucose to form ATP

• C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O and 36 ATP

• Glucose + oxygen yields carbon dioxide + water and 36

molecules of ATP

• Anaerobic metabolism

• Does not require oxygen

• Aerobic metabolism or cellular respiration

• Requires oxygen, occurs in mitochondria

Page 12: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

Glycolysis (17-2)

• Breakdown of glucose to two pyruvic acid molecules

• C6H12O6 2CH3—CO—COOH–

• Loses an H+, becomes pyruvate, enters mitochondria

• Glycolysis requires:

• Glucose and cytoplasmic enzymes

• ATP and ADP, NAD – a coenzyme that removes H+

• Invest 2 ATP, produce 4 ATP, for a net gain of 2 ATP

Figure 17-3 Glycolysis.

As soon as a glucose moleculeenters the cytosol, a phosphategroup is attached to the molecule.

A second phosphate group isattached. Together, steps 1 and 2cost the cell 2 ATP.

The six-carbon chain is splitinto two three-carbon molecules,each of which then follows therest of this pathway.

Another phosphate group isattached to each molecule, andNADH is generated from NAD.

The atoms in each three-carbonmolecule are rearranged and eachmolecule produces 2 ATP.

Mitochondrial Structure (17-2)

• Surrounded by two membranes

• Outer is permeable to pyruvate

• Inner uses carrier protein to transport pyruvate into

mitochondrial matrix

• Citric acid cycle occurs within mitochondria

Page 15: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

The Citric Acid Cycle (17-2)

• Also called tricarboxylic acid (TCA) or Krebs cycle

• Pyruvate interacts with NAD and coenzyme A

(CoA)

• Product is acetyl-CoA

• Goes through citric acid cycle, transferring H+ to NAD

and FAD

• Forms ATP from GTP, NADH, and FADH2

• NADH and FADH2 transfer H+ to electron transport

system

The Electron Transport System (17-2)

• ETS

• Embedded in inner mitochondrial membrane

• Provides 95 percent of all cellular energy

• A series of protein-pigment cytochromes

• Electrons from H+ enter ETS

• Travel along the ETS and release energy

• Energy drives H+ pumps creating gradient for H+

• Gradient energy converts ADP to ATP

Gluconeogenesis (17-2)

• The synthesis of "new" glucose from non-

carbohydrate molecules

• Needed because glycolysis is not a reversible reaction

• Pyruvate cannot be converted back to glucose

• Instead, cells use other 3-carbon molecules

• Lactate, glycerol, some amino acids

• Glucose from gluconeogenesis can undergo further

catabolic reactions to be stored as glycogen

Lipid Catabolism (17-3)

• Also called lipolysis

• Hydrolysis reaction breaks triglycerides into glycerol and

three fatty acids

• One 18-carbon fatty acid can yield 144 ATP

• Glycerol is converted to pyruvate, enters citric acid cycle

• Fatty acids undergo beta-oxidation

• Occurs in mitochondria, generates NADH and FADH2

• Some fragments combine to form ketone bodies

Page 27: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Lipids and Energy Production (17-3)

• Lipids are stored in fat droplets

• Difficult for water-soluble enzymes to reach lipid

• Lipids can provide a lot of energy, but not quickly

• Skeletal muscle fibers access glucose for quick energy

• Skeletal muscle fibers access fatty acids during rest

Page 28: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Lipid Synthesis (17-3)

• Also called lipogenesis

• Glycerol is synthesized from a product of

glycolysis

• Other lipids, steroids, and fatty acids are derived

from acetyl-CoA

• Body cannot build every fatty acid it needs

• Essential fatty acids must be in diet

Page 29: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Lipid Transport and Distribution (17-3)

• Lipids not soluble in water, need transport

mechanisms

• Most circulated in plasma as lipoproteins

• Free fatty acids (FFA)

• Come from catabolized adipose tissue, available during

starvation periods

• Bind to albumin for transport

Page 30: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Lipoproteins (17-3)

• Contain triglycerides and cholesterol, covered in

phospholipids and proteins

• Chylomicrons in intestinal epithelium are largest

• Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs)

• "Bad cholesterol" deposited in arterial plaques

• High-density lipoproteins (HDLs)

• "Good cholesterol" transports cholesterol to liver

Page 31: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Lipoproteins and Lipid Transport and Distribution

The liver absorbs chylomicrons from the blood-stream and removes the triglycerides. It combines the cholesterol from the chylomicron with synthe-sized or recycled cholesterol, and alters the surface proteins. It then releases low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) into the circulation, which deliver cholesterol to peripheral tissues. Some of the cholesterol is used by the liver to synthesize bile salts; excess cholesterol is excreted in the bile.

The HDLs returnthe cholesterol to the liver where it is extracted, and packaged in new LDLs or excreted with bile salts in bile.

The LDLs released by the liver leave the bloodstream and enter capillaries.

Once in peripheral tissues, the LDLs are absorbed.

The cholesterol not used by the cells re-enters the bloodstream. There it gets absorbed by high density lipoproteins (HDLs).

The cell extracts the cholesterol and uses it in various ways.

Protein Metabolism (17-4)

• Usually proteins are recycled inside cells

• Proteins are broken down, amino acids are used to

synthesize new proteins

• If carbohydrates and lipids are not available for

energy:

• Amino acids can undergo catabolism in the citric acid

cycle

• ATP benefits vary, but average that of carbohydrates

Page 34: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Amino Acid Catabolism (17-4)

• Removal of amino group requires vitamin B6

• Transamination moves amino group to other small carbon chain

• Forms "new" amino acid

• Deamination prepares amino acid for the citric acid cycle

• Removes amino group and forms ammonium ion (NH4+)

• Liver cells combine CO2 with NH4+ to produce urea

• Eliminated in urine

Page 35: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Amino Acid Catabolism (17-4)

• Carbon chains, depending on structure, can:

• Be converted to pyruvate and go through

gluconeogenesis

• Or be converted to acetyl-CoA and go through the citric

acid cycle

• Or be converted to ketone bodies

• Acetone is one example, gives breath distinctive odor

• Ketone bodies can be used by other cells that convert them

back into acetyl-CoA

• High ketone body concentration is called ketosis

Page 36: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Amino Acid Catabolism (17-4)

• An impractical source of quick energy because:

1. Proteins are more difficult to break apart than fats and

carbohydrates

2. Ammonium ions are toxic to cells

3. Structural proteins are essential for homeostasis

• Catabolism can alter cellular and systemic functions

Page 37: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Amino Acid and Protein Synthesis (17-4)

• Nonessential amino acids

• Can be synthesized in cells through amination or

transamination

• Essential amino acids

• Must be included in diet

tryptophan, phenylalanine, valine, methionine, arginine,

and histidine

Page 38: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Protein Deficiency Diseases (17-4)

• Inadequate consumption of essential amino acids

• Caused by malnutrition

• Inherited metabolic disorders

• For example, phenylketonuria (PKU)

• Cannot convert phenylalanine to tyrosine due to defective

enzyme

• Reaction essential to produce norepinephrine, epinephrine, and

melanin

Balance of Caloric Intake and Output (17-7)

• Weight gain occurs if energy intake exceeds

output

• Weight loss occurs if energy intake is lower than

output

• Best weight-control programs have both:

• Calorie counting

• Increase in daily exercise

Page 63: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

Thermoregulation (17-7)

• Homeostatic process of maintaining body

temperature

• In spite of external environment

• Required to maintain enzymatic viability

• Body temp below 36oC or above 40oC causes

disorientation

• Above 42oC causes convulsions and permanent cell

damage

Page 64: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Mechanisms of Heat Transfer (17-7)

1. Radiation

• Accounts for more than half of body's heat loss

• Heat is lost as infrared radiation

2. Conduction

• Direct transfer due to physical contact with cold object

• Not very effective in gaining or losing heat

Page 65: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Mechanisms of Heat Transfer (17-7)

3. Convection

• Conductive heat loss to the air

• Heat rises away from skin, cool air replaces it

4. Evaporation

• Water changes from liquid to vapor, absorbing energy

• Sensible perspiration from sweat glands varies

• Insensible perspiration from lungs and skin is consistent

Mechanisms of Temperature Balance (17-7)

• Altering heat gain and heat loss activities

• Coordinated by heat-loss center and heat-gain center

• In hypothalamus

• Heat-loss uses parasympathetic pathways

• Heat-gain uses sympathetic pathways

Page 68: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Promoting Heat Loss (17-7)

• When body temp rises above set point:

1. Vasomotor center inhibited

• Peripheral blood vessels dilate

• Increased radiation and convection

2. Sweat glands stimulated

• Increased evaporation

3. Respiratory center stimulated

• Increased evaporation from lungs

Page 69: 163 ch 17_lecture_presentation

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Promoting Heat Gain (17-7)

• To prevent hypothermia, heat-loss center is

inhibited, heat-gain center is activated

• Stimulates vasomotor center

• Vasoconstriction limits radiation, convection, conduction

• Shivering thermogenesis

• Activates brief contractions of skeletal muscles

• Nonshivering thermogenesis is stimulated hormonally

• Thyroid hormones and epinephrine
